On August 14th Goose will it's fifth studio album, 'Chain Yer Dragon'. The band's second in 2025 follows the success of April's 'Everything Must Go', 'Chain Yer Dragon' welcomes listeners into a rich, fully-realized world of music and familiar characters, beckoning them to follow the lights and sounds through dingy barrooms and late nights on the road that dissolve into the clarity of a fresh dawn. 'Chain Yer Dragon' showcases Goose's versatility, laying down 70's-infused rock songs that feel lived-in and that come to life through improvisation. Playing with form, 'Chain Yer DragonInch is buoyed by a natural production style that gives the album the raw, freewheeling feel of the band's electric live shows. With tracks that span Goose's musical career, 'Chain Yer Dragon' serves as a connective tissue between some of the group's earliest, much-beloved songwriting and it's current evolution as a four-piece. Featuring live staples like InchEcho of A Rose,Inch InchEmpress of Organos,Inch InchRockdale,Inch and fan favorites like InchFactory Fiction,Inch 'Chain Yer Dragon' embraces the band's origins.

These songs have been on a journey, and it feels right for them to finally have a home now.Inch 'Chain Yer Dragon' offers personalities, locales, and music to get lost in. Lyrical c
